*Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

[Contra]

Gone!

Jesus, Watson. Consistent bowling, but really just leave that after lunch. Get yourself set again.

 

[Spark]

Watson gets out just after 50 shocker. Not a good look for him there.

 

[Furball]

Wanna boof Jimmeh so much right now.

 

[pskov]

Shane Watson doesn't go on after getting a half-century. Not exactly a surprise.

Edit: Spark

 

[Jacknife]

This is some awsome bowling on such a flat deck by Anderson

 

[blahblahblah]

watson goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[LongHopCassidy]

FFS Shane.

When North comes in, you know the innings is going south.

 

[Somerset]

The pitch is flat as any other Adelaide wicket. The three to go were one run out, and two very good balls at two batsmen in indifferent form. I think Australia, if they don't self destruct by playing mindless strokes looks all set to be 300/3 at close.

Good call.

Nice to see Anderson rewarded for his excellent bowling so far today after so many chances went unrewarded in Brisbane.

 

[Athlai]

Watto was paying $1.83 to not ton up. Damn my financial woes.

 

[Spark]

In with a left-hander as well. If he scores well here it'll be a first.

 

[Bun]

Jinx

 

[King Pietersen]

JIMMEH. KP. Love it. Thanks to Joe Rogan, Jason 'Mayhem' Miller and Brian Redban for keeping me awake during the Lunch break. Lets hope we pick up another couple in this session!

 

[Prince EWS]

Looked like getting out like that a few times early. Needs to learn to open the face a bit more when he plays balls so wide instead of trying to nail them through extra cover. Or just leave them.

Ah, North. The man for a crisis...

Even the ball before wasn't convincing, playing the exact same shot.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Lol. Twatto. Likes a drive, but hadn't looked secure all morning doing it. Fair reward for Jimmeh for pitching it up. Ton for North IMHO.

Also, I don't know if anyone's mentioned it yet or not, but as an addendum to the "Momentum: bollox or not?" debate from the first test, a lot of the criminal element were criticising Strauss for declaring and allowing Punter the chance of some quick runs on day 5 to take some momentum/form forward to Adelaide...

Evidence for the "bollox" camp, clearly.

 

[Ruckus]

This is pretty garbage from Australia.

one of my favourite things about watching cricket is watching the reaction of the crowd behind from a camera at ground level, whether they be delerious or gutted

Ooooh
